Chapter 285 The Funny Pistachio
Relying on the lineup advantage in the later stage, the Timberwolves buried the Heat in the second half.

O'Neal expressed his dissatisfaction with the Timberwolves' foul tactics: "They are a group of cowards who dare not confront me openly. If they are men, put away those low fouls!"

Bai Jidong scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, ranking first in the team in scoring and assists.

He affected the direction of the game from both ends of the offense and defense, especially the restriction on Wade in the second half is the key to the Timberwolves' victory, "Shaq is joking, we just make full use of the rules. The ball, if you score from the penalty, the tactic doesn't exist."

"I really hope the audience is to see my free throw." O'Neal said sarcastically.

O'Neill's interview quickly spread to Bai Jidong's ears, and he responded immediately: "Existence is reasonable. Serving tactics do spoil the enjoyment of the game, but some people should also know that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. , If you are not allowed to make free throws, you will be fouled and let you go to the free throw line, is there something wrong with that?"

This kind of wrangling will not end one day, and people are more concerned about when the Timberwolves will lose.

Since the start of the game, they have won six consecutive victories, ranking first in the Western Conference.

They had such a winning streak like last season, but the Timberwolves did not give people a sense of inscrutability like they do now.

Failure came quickly.

In Game [-] of the regular season, the team that ended the Timberwolves was the defending champion Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons exemplify true team defense.

It doesn't matter if one person is pierced, others can fill the gap for you.

As far as defense is concerned, the Pistons' integrity is a notch better than the Timberwolves.

This night, except for Bai Jidong, everyone else was collectively inaccurate.The Pistons' defense is quite like the 90s of the last century, tough and suffocating.

That kind of defensive pressure is not available to other teams, and no team can play normally under such a defense.

In the beginning, Bai Jidong kept making balls for his teammates, but as a result, they were like being gloved, either they hit the iron or they were outrageous.

In the second half, Bai Jidong finally came to his senses, but the point difference was close to 20 points.

No matter how brave Bai Jidong is, without the support of his teammates, he will not be able to recover the difference.

In the end, the Timberwolves lost to the Pistons 99 to 86 and suffered their first defeat of the next season.

"The blame is on me. I played like a bitch. I should have driven to the basket more. I apologize for those soft shots from the high post! I promise the fans that this will not happen again, we I won't be slaughtered like this!" Garnett said after the game with a look of displeasure.

The Timberwolves don't have time to taste the taste of failure, and there are still two away games, going to Charlotte and Dallas respectively.

With the determination to win, the Timberwolves bloodbathed the Hornets in Charlotte.

This was a bloody match, and Bai Jidong scored as easily as killing a pig.

This is still a legendary game.During the game, Hornets forward George Lynch said to Bai Jidong: "Do you only know how to break through? Do you dare to shoot?"

So Bai Jidong missed three consecutive three-pointers on his head.

Lynch added: "You only know how to shoot? Are you good at breaking through from the weak side?"

So Bai Jidong broke through with his left hand at halftime.

No matter what requirements Lynch had, Bai Jidong would satisfy them all.

Later, Bai Jidong got bored and turned to help his teammates score.

His passing seems to have magical powers, as long as he passes the ball, no matter how ridiculous the shot is, he can make it. Bai Jidong quickly got ten assists.

Then, Bai Jidong put his attention on the rebounds, especially the offensive rebounds, and rushed to grab them with all his strength whenever he had the opportunity.

After the game, the audience looked at Bai Jidong's statistics. It was an astonishing 40 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists. His performance left others in the dark.

Olowokandi's evaluation of him is: "The word dominance is specially used by me to describe the white wolf. Tonight his dominance is from beginning to end and from beginning to end. I have never seen this level of power." dominance."

"My only opinion on the White Wolf is that he stole several rebounds from me. This is my small complaint. As for the others, I only admire him. He is the best teammate I have ever worked with." Garnett also said Bai Jidong praised it to the sky, "Competing with Bailang is always easy, he can share a lot for me."

Subsequently, the Timberwolves went to Dallas non-stop.

The battle in Cowboy City is about the other end of the story.

It is not so much a game between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks, but rather a duel between Nowitzki and Garnett, the two best contemporary power forwards.

If the 90s was the heyday of the center, the first few years of the new century were the heyday of the power forward.

The most representative ones are Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki.

They each represent a style of power forward.

Duncan won the championship ahead of the two of them, forming a class of his own.

The comparisons between Garnett and Nowitzki intensified, and the debate about which of the two was better never stopped.

From Bai Jidong's point of view, this is a real confrontation between soft and hard.

Hard and soft do not refer to style of play, but to character.

Nowitzki's character is a bit soft in Bai Jidong's eyes, but Garnett's whole body is full of "I'm the hardest in the world" iron blood.

In the battle for Noga, the one who won the game was Garnett.

诺维茨基砍下38分9篮板，加内特23分14篮板4封盖。

This set of alignment data clearly summarizes the characteristics of the two.

Nowitzki tends to be offensive, and Garnett is defensive.Each has its own strengths. If Bai Jidong were to choose, Bai Jidong would choose Garnett without hesitation.

Just when people thought that the Timberwolves were about to start their second winning streak, the Timberwolves, who returned to the home court with the momentum of two consecutive victories, were defeated by the supersonic speed that exploded with all members.

Ray Allen became the focus of the game, and his breakthrough and shooting made the Timberwolves helpless.

Especially his shooting, a string of shooting performances in the third quarter is like playing a game to cheat.

Even Bai Jidong couldn't limit Lei Allen's performance.

Ray Allen reminded people of the words about Bai Jidong's defense again, "To break through Bye's defense, you must first have the ability to shoot against the defense."

Gentleman Lei did it tonight, Bai Jidong's defense was broken, Timberwolves' perimeter defense collapsed, and the entire line collapsed.

"These guys haven't adjusted their mentality. It's not surprising to lose. The important thing is how to learn from the defeat. I believe they can find their own shortcomings. It's just a matter of time." Sanders is very optimistic, his expression is not at all It doesn't look like the Timberwolves have just experienced a defeat at home.

This gentlemanly demeanor convinced the reporters on the scene.

Sanders doesn't mind losing, but it doesn't mean the players don't mind.

Garnett thought it was a shameful battle, "We didn't fight well ourselves, and let others do it like a drugged woman."

"KG, this metaphor is not good. I would rather you say that we are like dropping soap in the bathroom and being anal blasted by a group of big men." Olowokandi's speech made people sick.

"Everything is fine. In short, I can't accept such a loss." Garnett said: "As the captain, I have to take the main responsibility, but you guys can't escape the punishment. Give me a good training tomorrow!"

"Kevin, how do you want to practice?" Bai Jidong just came out of the unhappiness of losing.

Garnett said; "Double the training volume."

Old Willis said: "I have no problem with you wanting to torture yourself, but don't take me with you, okay? I'm already 45 years old, and I can't stand your tossing like this."

"Old Kevin, are you afraid? You are of the same generation as MJ, how can you admit defeat?" Bai Jidong teased.

Old Willis said, "Don't be kidding me! Compared with health, how much is dignity worth?"

Garnett's tone relaxed, "The older ones, such as Irwin and old Kevin, don't have to participate, and others must participate."

"So Penny doesn't have to participate?" Olowokandi pointed his gun at Hardaway.

Hardaway said with a smile: "Although I am old and slow, I am not too old to withstand double training. I will participate, and I will practice as you practice."

"Okay, who else can't practice? Say it quickly." Garnett's eyes swept over everyone.

No one said anything, Garnett nodded: "Good job, then see you at the St. Olaf Center tomorrow."

"It seems that we will suffer a lot tomorrow. KG's training is not trivial. I will write your names upside down if I don't train you so badly." Olowokandi laughed.

Trenton Hassell said: "I don't know what you're happy about. Based on your performance in the last few games, he must have drilled you hard. Just wait to be played to death."

"As long as I have faith, my world will be full of sunshine. I will not be defeated or crushed, because I have a pure American dream." Olowokandi said piously.

"A Nigerian with a pure American dream? That's amazing." Bai Jidong was the first to make up the knife.

Olowokandi was so choked that he didn't know what to say, and suddenly said: "Although my nationality is Nigeria, my body and soul belong to the United States!"

"Okay, okay, Bush should personally issue you a passport, otherwise I'm sorry for your pure American dream." Bai Jidong sneered.

Hearing this, everyone laughed.Olowokandi also thought it was funny, so he laughed with everyone.

Every team needs a regulator, and Olowokandi is the regulator for the Timberwolves.

He's a funny guy in private, and he can take a joke.

With such a person, there is always fun.

"Then I'll go back first and make some preparations for tomorrow's training." Bai Jidong took his things and was the first to leave the locker room.

Bai Jidong walked to the door and bumped into Sanders, "Coach, I'm going back first."

"White Wolf, take another passage, this passage is full of reporters." Sanders reminded kindly.

"Thank you." Bai Jidong was very grateful for Sanders' reminder.
